HOUSTON—Defensive end J.J. Watt continues his torrid start for the 4-0 Texans.

With two sacks in the 38-14 victory over Tennessee, Watt became the first player since outside linebacker Kevin Greene in 1998 to have at least 1½ sacks in each of the first four games of a season. Against the Titans, Watt had five tackles, three tackles for loss, two sacks, two quarterback hurries and a fumble recovery that set up a field goal.

Because the Texans have so much talent around him, opponents can’t double-team Watt. When Watt moves inside in passing situations, he’s got Antonio Smith on his right and Brooks Reed on his left. The coaches say Smith is having his best season. Reed has been terrific in his second season. He never leaves the field.

“We all feed off him (Watt),” Smith said with a laugh. “It becomes friendly competition, like (last week) everybody was going to get on the highlight tape. J.J. wasn’t going to take over the highlight tape, but he did it again.”

In four games, Watt has 30 tackles, 7½ sacks, 10 tackles for loss, 10 quarterback hurries and five deflections. He’s relentless against the run and pass. He gets off the ball fast, knows how to use his hands to shed blockers, and he’s developed swing and rip moves to get to the quarterback.
